Chapter Eleven: Captain Who?
Alaina looked alarmed as the man boarded the Constance and approached her father. She began looking around from where she stood in the crow's nest andsaw a long rope hanging down from one of the rafters. Thinking quickly she mentally calculated how hard she would have to push herself off to knock the man down.
Jack Sparrow grinned as he approached Will and was hardly three feet from him when a flash of someone swinging from a rope came out of the corner of his eye.
Quicker than lighting Alaina hit him feet first hard in the chest and Jack went flying backwards over the railing.
Will stood there in shock for a moment, his mouth gaping at his daughter's daring stunt. He snapped out of it when he heard Jack yelling up at them.
Alaina peered over the edge and gave him a small wave.
"'Ey lass, throw me a rope!" he cried, seeing her face as he treaded the water.
"Umm…" Alaina thought aloud, tapping a finger on her chin playfully. "No."
Will suddenly appeared next to her and threw down a rope.
"What are you doing?" Alaina wanted to know, turning to him as Jack scrambled up the rope.
Will ignored her for a moment and helped Jack over the railing "Alaina," Will began as Jack stood up on the deck once again, only this time soaking wet. "I'd like you to meet Captain Sparrow." Jack turned to the girl and gave her a grin as he rung out his bandana and put his tri-cornered hat back on.
"Captain who?" Alaina asked, blinking a few times at the man standing in front of her.
She studied him quickly, taking in his tanned body, dark kohl-lined eyes, his beaded long dark hair, his braided beard, and his wet clothes. Surely this couldn't be the infamous pirate she'd heard about her whole life?
The man who her little brother was named after.
"Sparrow, Captain Jack Sparrow," Jack confirmed, frowning at the expression on her face as the water dripped from his hair. "And who might you be?"
Alaina looked over at her father who nodded his head. "You're serious?" Alaina asked in disbelief. Will again nodded with a bemused expression on his face. "Oh," was all she could say.
"Will somebody tell me what the bloody hell is going on?" Jack asked in confusion, trying to wring the water from his shirt.
Will leaned over to his daughter and whispered. "I don't think we should tell him." Alaina nodded and Jack watched intently.
"No what are you saying?" he demanded to know, then stepped back and blinked hard as Will and Alaina stood side by side.
"You," he said, pointing from one to the other and back again.
"Jack," Will began, a smile playing on his face. "This is my daughter Alaina,"
Jack squinted and walked closer to her, putting his face only a few inches away from Alaina's and studying her. "Well now, didn't quite recognize you without being covered in food," he said with a smirk, looking her up and down.
Suddenly it struck Alaina that he had been the man the boys had seen. "Stalker," she mumbled, her face turning red at the thought of him watching her.
"Nice to meet you too, love," he said to her, a grin spreading on his face at her calling him a stalker. Alaina's eyes narrowed at his last word.
"The name's Alaina," she replied coolly, stepping back, him being too close for comfort.
"Well then, still glad to meet you. Its not everyday I come across someone who can send me over the railing."
Will looked proudly over at his daughter. She wasn't the greatest sailor; in reality she was horrible, but she was loyal and entertaining.
"Yes, normally you send yourself," Alaina reminded, folding her arms across her chest and tilting her head to the right, waiting for a reply.
Jack laughed and put an arm around her shoulder. "I like ye lass, I really do."
She looked at Jack skeptically. "And what, pray tell, Captain Sparrow has brought you to delight us with your presence?"
Will stifled a laugh, as Jack looked over at him. "She always this wonderful?"
Will nodded and Jack looked at Alaina again who was removing his wet arm from her shoulder.
"Ah, well, glad you find me such delightful company."
Alaina gave him a small smile and slowly backed away. She was beginning to become uncomfortable near Captain Sparrow, and she didn't know if it was because he was the pirate she had always dreamed of meeting or because he had been watching her family.
"I'm going to see if Caitlyn needs any help," she told her father.
Will nodded and Jack laughed as she tripped over one of the rope coils lying on the deck.
'God, Allie you're such a klutz,' she said to herself, getting up and racing down the steps that led to the kitchen.
Jack turned to Will with a cocky smile. "Now, how about a grand tour of the
Black Pearl?" Will returned the grin and Jack led the way back to where his prized ship sat in the water. As they walked down the plank, Will silently prayed that Alaina didn't develop any sort of relationship with the devilish captain.

A/N: Hope you like it. Remember, if you don't, PLEASE give me ideas to help me get better. * Wipes away tears * You all are so nice to me! Sorry this chappie took so long, I had to go see POTC in order to write Cap'n Sparrow right. Okay, so I wouldn't say right, how about…more true to his character???
Anyways, thanks for reading my stuff and liking it…well pretending to like it anyways. If I could I would clone the faerie (aka Orli Bloom) and Johnny Depp and send them to all of you!! And the originals to my WONDERFUL editor. YOU ALL ROCK!!!
Oh yeah, PLEEZE tell me if the Cap'n was portrayed okay and how to improve it
b/c he's just too great of a character to mess up.
